An IP Address (Internet Protocol address) is a numerical label assigned to internet enabled devices from your home router, corporate firewall, laptops, desktops, printers, mobile phones and so on. This is a unique number that enables these devices to find where you are going on the internet or local network, similar to a street address.

Knowing your IP address is very important to diagnose internet issues, setting up routers, mail servers and other services such as remote desktop connection.
